Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hall, H., & Ryan, B. (2020, October). Research Impact Value and Library and Information Science (RIVAL): development, implementation and outcomes of a Scottish network for LIS researchers and practitioners. Presented at 83rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T)

The research-practice gap in Library and Information Science (LIS) is well documented, especially in respect of the difficulties of translating research into practice, and resultant lost opportunities. While many researchers attempt to explain this r...
